Strawberry is a non-climacteric fruit, with low ethylene production rate after harvest. Its response to nitric oxide (NO), which can be released from sodium nitroprusside (SNP), was studied. We have examined the effect of 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0μmoll−1SNP aqueous solution on ethylene production, respiration rate, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content and the activities of ACC synthase and ACC oxidase in post-harvest strawberry (“Fengxiang”). The most remarkable effect was obtained with 5μmoll−1SNP aqueous solution, which significantly inhibited ethylene production, respiration rate, the activity of ACC synthase and reduced the content of ACC, but did not significantly affect the activity of ACC oxidase. SNP at 10μmoll−1harmed the fruits; 1μmoll−1SNP was too low to significantly extend strawberry storage life. It was suggested that NO could decrease ethylene output, through inhibiting ACC synthase activity reducing ACC content.
